Glad you got everything working.

That is the beauty of frameworks. Benefit from the combined knowledge  
of people contributing to it and focus on what is important to your  
particular application.

Updating an application in place over the internet works now although  
the how-to manual hasn't been updated to explain how to use it in  
great detail. This lesson may help though:

How Do I Package My Application For Use With An Installer Or Auto  
Update?: <http://revolution.screenstepslive.com/spaces/revolution/manuals/glxapp/lessons/5668-How-Do-I-Package-My-Application-For-Use-With-An-Installer-Or-Auto-Update-

I have just about finished documenting the entire API using NativeDoc  
(great program) though so you can read up on the Updater handlers at  
this url:

Rodney Tamblyn has been spending quite a bit of time providing  
feedback on the framework over the last few weeks and I will be  
releasing an updated plugin and some additional docs in the not too  
distant future.

Look forward to having you there. If you know anyone who programs  
using other environments that might be interested in cross-platform  
development with Rev you should tell them about the first session that  
is sponsored by RunRev (it is free). Part of the first session shows  
how to set up your development work space so that you working in the  
IDE and testing on Windows and Mac all at the same time, without ever  
having to compile. A very compelling feature for cross-platform  
development.
